An acoustically adaptable in-ceiling speaker

Revel's C583 in-ceiling speaker combines accurate sound with versatile installation options. Its 1" aluminum dome tweeter is aimable, so you can direct sound towards your listening position. The tweeter also has a three-position output level switch, which lets you tailor the sound to the acoustics of your room.

The C583 is an excellent choice for an in-ceiling stereo system, or as an overhead effects channel of a Revel home theater system. Its 8" woofer provides solid bass and smooth midrange. It even includes both square and round grilles to match your décor.

The Revel C583 in-ceiling speaker features a three-position tweeter level control which cuts or boosts high-frequency output to suit your room's acoustics.

Trickle-down technology

The C583 benefits from the research and design work that went into Revel's higher-end in-ceiling speakers. For instance, the speaker's integrated tweeter waveguide helps provide great sound across a wide listening area. And its high-order crossover network allows the woofer and tweeter to blend together seamlessly.

The C583 also features high-quality push-post input terminals for a solid connection with your speaker wire. A lifetime warranty ensures excellent long-term performance.

Who is Revel?

Revel is one of the high-performance audio companies of global electronics giant Harman International. Since 1996, Revel has used cutting-edge design tools and one-of-a-kind testing facilities to develop speakers that measure well and sound amazing. The intensive design work happens at Harman's state-of-the-art speaker R & D facility in Northridge, California.

Features

Two-Way In-Ceiling Speaker: The Revel by Harman C 583
in-ceiling speaker utilizes a two-way driver design. It features a 1" aluminum
dome swiveling tweeter with an integrated wave guide that provides optimized
response both on and off axis. It also houses a 8" micro-ceramic composite
(MCC) woofer with rubber surround that provides high output with low distortion.
A high-order crossover network delivers seamless blending between the tweeter
and woofer, as well as accurate timbre reproduction.

Tweeter Level Control: A 3-position tweeter level control
lets you adjust for optimum high-frequency response in a variety of acoustical
environments, or for using the speakers without grilles. The tweeter level
control is located on the front baffle and hidden behind the grille. Choose
between 3 settings -

Increased High Frequency Output (+): Use this setting
if the room has many features that absorb high-frequency sound energy -
such as thick carpeting, drapes, and fabric-covered furniture.

Normal High Frequency Output (0): Use this setting for
most installation.

Decreased High Frequency Output (-): Use this setting
if the room has many features that reflect high-frequency sound energy -
such as large uncovered windows, bare tile floors and large expanses of bare
walls, or if the speakers are used without grilles.

Spring-Post Terminals: The C 583 in-ceiling loudspeaker is
equipped with a set of spring-post terminals that will accept speaker cable
terminated with banana plugs (single or dual) and bare wire (up to 10AWG). Use
high-quality speaker wire to obtain the best performance from the Revel
in-ceiling speaker.

For wire lengths of less than 50', use at least 16AWG speaker wire.

For wire lengths of 50' to 100', use at least 12AWG speaker wire.

For wire lengths of greater than 100' use at least 10AWG speaker wire.

Magnetic Grille (Round & Square): The C583 in-ceiling
loudspeaker comes with a round and square metal mesh grille (choose the one that
looks best in your ceiling). Powerful magnets in the speaker frame securely hold
the grilles in place. The grille covers the entire outer frame of the speaker
and is extremely low-profile (sits out only 0.25" from the ceiling). The
included grilles can be painted to match your room's décor.

Applications: The C 583 in-ceiling speaker can be used in
distributed audio, two-channel stereo, and home theater applications.

Distributed Audio: Since distributed sound is general
sound throughout an area, place the loudspeakers as uniformly as possible
for even sound coverage throughout the area. Place the left and right
loudspeakers roughly the same distance from the primary listener locations.
To avoid "hot spots" where the sound is too loud, plan to use more
loudspeakers, with each set to play at a lower volume.

Two-Channel Stereo: Place the left and right
loudspeakers the same distance from the primary listening area (or as close
to the same distance as possible). The distance from each speaker to its
nearest side wall should also be the as close to the same distance as
possible. Ideally, the distance between the left and right loudspeakers
should be slightly less than their distance from the primary listening area.

Home Theater: The front left, center and front right
loudspeakers should be centered relative to the video display; and should be
closer to the video display than to the main listening area. The front left
and front right loudspeakers should be relatively close to the sides of the
video display, while he center loudspeaker should be aligned with the center
of the video display. The surround-channel loudspeakers should be as far
from the main listening area as possible but at least 2' from side and rear
walls.

In a 5.1-channel system, the surround left and surround right
loudspeakers should be located directly to the sides of, or up to 10°behind,
the main listening area

In a 7.1-channel system, the surround left and surround right
loudspeakers should be located directly to the sides of, or up to 10°
behind, the main listening area; while the surround back left and
surround back right loudspeakers should be equidistant from the primary
listening area and generally as far from it as possible but at least 2'
from the side and rear walls.

Mounting Options: The C 583 is designed to mount in a
0.5"-2" thick ceiling. Make sure the drywall, plywood or other ceiling material
capable of withstanding the weight (2.8125 lbs) of the speaker. Use the included
template to assist you with marking the cutout opening (9.625" diameter) for the
speaker. Be sure there is at least 5.5" of mounting depth behind the wall,
and allow at least 1" between the edge of the supplied installation template
and any rafters or other obstructions behind the wall - so the speaker's locking
mechanism will have room to engage fully. Four "dog-ear" clamps will secure the
speaker in your ceiling.

Our Product Research Team

At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere. That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team. They verify what’s in the box, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs. We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices.

Which model headphones are supported?

We've tailored the listening experience for specific headphone models, so that you can accurately hear the differences between selected speakers. Our headphone testing and research is ongoing, so if your headphones are not currently selectable, please use the link below to let us know what you have. Note: earbuds are not supported for this demo.

What is SpeakerCompare?

We want to make shopping for speakers online better than just reading reviews and comparing specs. This virtual listening demo simulates the sound of speakers to give you a sense of their sonic differences, right through your headphones.

We use patented techniques to record speakers in a specially constructed anechoic chamber, which lets us accurately analyze their response. We've optimized our simulations to adjust for the specific characteristics of select headphones.

Two different listening modes

If you were in an actual listening room, you'd find that some speakers play louder than others when fed the same amount of power. In equal power mode, you'll hear these differences in loudness as they naturally occur between speakers.

In equal volume mode, we've made the loudness of each speaker about the same. This gives you a more direct comparison of subtle voicing differences between speakers. In a real-world comparison, you could achieve similar results by adjusting the volume of your amplifier to make the speakers play at the same level.

Nothing beats listening to speakers in your space

SpeakerCompare gives you a virtual sense of the sonic differences between speakers. But performance in the real world will always be affected by the acoustics of your car or home, your choice of amplification, and your source material. We still believe that the gold standard for auditioning speakers is hearing them in your own environment — that’s why we offer a 60-day money-back guarantee.
